These rich inheritances can be said to belong to Zhuxia or to the Li family.

Since the imperial power is supreme, the latter component is naturally heavier.

A few days later, Liu Yu officially began to be on duty, and put his ideas on the book in a legitimate channel.

roughly said his thoughts, and also said that this kind of thing needs to be investigated before it can be determined, otherwise it is likely to be a paper talk, and I hope that the emperor will allow him to send someone to inspect and investigate the situation of the old five camps.

The emperor also quickly approved, and the candidate was naturally Liu Yu.

gave Liu Yu a strange officer, the inspector of the Zhongji camp of the old fifth battalion.

This is not a permanent officer, and it is generally used as a dragon ban, mainly to inspect the situation of the old fifth battalion of soldiers. Including camps, land, training, and so on.

As the spokesperson of the emperor, the inspection inspector directly communicated with the good family of the old fifth battalion, had a waist card, and sent dozens of elite soldiers of the children's army to follow.

The so-called old five battalions are the five battalions when Xi'an was established.

Left Battalion, Right Wing Battalion, Forward Battalion, Rear Strength Battalion, Nakayoshi Battalion.

This is the foundation of Dashun to fight for the world, after the world was calmed, this family foundation was about tens of thousands, and now it is about 120,000.

The reason why it is called the old fifth battalion is because the main force of the Beijing camp also uses this set of names. However, the Beijing battalion is a field establishment, and the old fifth battalion is a household registration establishment, so an old man is added in front to distinguish it.

The Huangzhuang of the previous dynasty, the enclosure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the recovery of Liaodong, and the north after brutal wars had a large amount of land that could be used for distribution.

Among them, the right-wing battalion and the Zhongji battalion are distributed in Gyeonggi and Inner Mongolia, with a total of about 50,000.

The forward battalion is in Liaodong, about 20,000.

The left camp is in Shaanxi and Hetao, about 20,000.

The stamina camp is in Jingxiang, about 20,000.

The right-wing battalion and the Zhongji battalion guarded the Beijing Division, relying on the bloody "legacy" of the former dynasty Huangzhuang and the Manchu enclosure.

The forward battalion was stationed in Liaodong, relying on a large amount of land behind the plough court and sweeping the holes.

The left battalion was stationed in Xijing, the Mandate of Heaven that started in Dashun, and in the Hetao area, and cooperated with the forward battalion to suppress the Mongols in cooperation with the east and west.

The Houjin Battalion is stationed in Jingxiang, which was almost a blank field 80 years ago, and can send troops to the southwest in the west and directly into the south of the Yangtze River in the east, living in the middle of the world.

These about 120,000 households and five camps of good families are the real basic plate of the Li family.

It can also be regarded as a variant of the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, exempt from tax, exempt from military service, soldier, and Juntian.

Compared with the "Hou Niang raised" government soldiers on the banks of the Songhua River, these mothers have a complete system of camp and three houses, an easier opportunity to enter the Wude Palace, a spokesperson and relationship between the court and the court, and the money invested by the imperial court every year for education.

The group of soldiers raised by the queen mother on the bank of the Songhua River cannot be said in the same day at all.

Maybe the only advantage of the group of government soldiers raised by the queen mother on the bank of the Songhua River is that there is wasteland, whatever you want, you can open it yourself, and 10,000 acres are all yours......

This is why the Northern School of Confucianism has been saying that "I hope that the imperial court will expand the Sanshe Law School and engage in fasting education", but Dashun has never agreed: raising these 120,000 Han and Tang Liang families, ensuring their status as self-cultivated farmers, and ensuring sufficient educational resources, has spent too much money, and it is simply impossible to take out more money to carry out the three-way method and fasting education in the entire north.

This group of people is the cornerstone that can attack the city without collapsing despite the huge casualties in Muli Jiwei.

If such a good family does too much, it is easy to become a serf of a military household in the previous dynasty.

We can only use these basic plates as the backbone and use the conscription system to ensure the overall number of the army.

The 23rd Company of Zhongjiying in Baoding Prefecture in Beizhili is a typical village community.

It is also the home of a few unlucky students that Liu Yu found from the list of unsuccessful students in the entrance examination of Wude Palace.

The 23rd Company of Zhongji Battalion, such a strange name, continues the legacy of Li Guo since the beginning of the founding of the country, and takes the old name of "Qi Huan Gong compiled 200 households as a company".

It sounds like an army number, but in fact, the 23rd Company of the Zhongji Battalion is a village community.

There are 400 households in the village.

In the previous dynasty, this was the imperial village of the Zhu family, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty came, it became an official field after Dashun hit.

Originally, there were not many tenants who survived here, and they either fled or were captured by the Manchus as cannon fodder, and those who survived were enriched by Dashun in Liaodong.

When Liu Yu, the inspection inspector, came here, it was October, the autumn harvest was over, and a group of young people who had just grown up were assembling in the courtyard of the village community, preparing to enlist in the army.

Next to the courtyard is the location of the village community.

Wude Palace is divided into three houses, and these camps are also three houses.

About a fraction of the people in each village are able to enter the camp school, but after the assessment, even fewer can finally enter the camp school.

These fewer people are competing for the opportunity to enter the Wude Palace.

The plaque of the camp school is the "23rd Company Camp of Zhongji Battalion" written by Emperor Gaozong's imperial pen, and there are about 250 companies in the old five battalions of Liangjiazi in that year, and all the company's camp school plaques are the emperor's imperial pen.

Although it is like engaging in wholesale, it is also an attitude that tells the world that these people are not serfs and military households of the previous dynasty, but the direct force of the emperor. Even if it is a big-headed soldier, it is the lowest nobleman under the twentieth rank in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Where the emperor's imperial pen is inscribed, even if the sentence "visit here" is written, ordinary people will have to dismount when they pass by.

It's like a flying fish suit, which is supposed to be worn as long as you have money, but under the hierarchy, this cheap reward becomes a kind of nobility.

As a similar, equally cheap "noble", the old five camps of good families can ride, fight, and play in front of the camp plaques mentioned by the emperor everywhere.

Although this does not give you two acres of land, and you can't be an official, the feudal dynasty under the hierarchy is undoubtedly a kind of grace and extremely effective.

In the courtyard of the village community, more than 30 young men lined up in a queue, and they were not very old, that is, they looked like they were seventeen or eighteen.

A veteran or officer in a military uniform was speaking at the front of the line, and the young men in the team did not dare to speak, but could only listen.

"Sixteen or seventeen enlisted in the army and entered the camp for one year of training. Come back to get married and have children, officially enter the camp at the age of 20, serve for 15 years, if there is no war, two years off for one year, this is the rule set by Emperor Taizong. ”

"Before yesterday, you were children. May be naughty, wiping each other's noses. But from today onwards, it will be a regular soldier. ”

"Entering the camp for training is no better than at home, it is really beaten."

"You have all been trained since you were a child, from the day you entered the camp to learn, learn writing and arithmetic, and the rest of the time is to practice and practice martial arts."

"Now that I've grown up, if I really have the ability, then I will mix up my body and cut people out of a pillar country. Take out all your greasy fighting in the yard, messing around in the camp school, and the greasy energy with the girl in the bud valley. ”

The officer was still talking there, and Liu Yu and the others got off the horse and watched from the sidelines.

He, the inspection inspector, did not wear official uniforms, and he did not bring all the guards with him, but only brought a few officers of the children's army transferred by the emperor, as well as steamed buns, Kang Buxian and other cronies.

After watching for a while, he turned his gaze to the village in the distance.

Several houses in the village did not post last year's New Year's couplets on the doors, apparently because the family had died in three years, probably in the siege on the banks of the Songhua River.

There was a sound of Lang Lang reading in the camp school, and it sounded like he was reciting the ninety-nine multiplication table.

A group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old children outside the courtyard, who had passed the age of the outhouse camp and had not been admitted to the middle house camp, were gathering there to watch the excitement.

Two children were wrestling there, followed by a few little girls cheering and chattering.

At the head of the village community were squatting old men, watching the queue of young people.

It seems that these old men are also in their fifties and sixties, and they don't know how many people they have sent away dozens of children from the village community, and they don't know how many people they have seen come back alive.

After watching it with relish for a while, Kang Buxian whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Childe, have you seen these camps?" I have checked the classics, and the camp of the old five camps of good families will allocate more than 500,000 taels of silver every year. Childe knows why the Northern School of Confucianism wants to promote these methods, and the imperial court has not been able to agree, right? ”

Liu Yu calculated the amazing number of this promotion in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is easy to understand." However, the 500,000 taels of silver every year are not in vain, and they make a lot of money. ”

Kang Bushu responded: "What Gongzi said is very true. The main thing is that it's just the money for education. If there are more people, immigrants are also given priority to the good family of the old five camps, and the good family is the easiest to make meritorious contributions, and the land is not given every year, which is another amount of money. Paper, pen and ink, Mr. in the camp school; annual gifts and rewards for meritorious service; the cost of immigration; Emperor Taizong's posthumous training is to eat tofu if you can't afford to eat meat, and the soybeans transported from Liaodong every year are rewarded...... This year, such various expenditures alone amounted to about 1.5 million taels. ”

"Don't forget, childe, as long as a good family joins the army, he will not pay taxes or serve labor. These millions of acres of land are in and out, and it is a lot of money. Gyeonggi land, a household of 40 acres of Yongye field; A household of 60 acres in Liaodong; Jingxiang has a household of 25 acres, and Hetao Mongolia does not count. Because of the bloody battles of the previous dynasty's Huangzhuang, the Tatar enclosure, and Jingxiang, the imperial court could only take out so much official land in its hands. ”

"Although there are not many pensions for those who died in battle, in the southwest and northwest, every village and community will die in every bloody battle. These bereavement benefits also cost a sum of money. ”

"The imperial court can raise so much, and if it is more, it can only become a military household of the former dynasty. Emperor Taizong also said that the essence is not much more expensive. ”

Liu Yu nodded, the fifteen-year service period is full, and the elite soldiers in the hands of the imperial court are only forty or fifty thousand.

Some of them are filled in the northwest, some of them are stationed in Liaodong and Inner Mongolia all the year round, and some of them are filled in the southwest, which is used as an ace in battles like the siege of Mulijiwei.

Needless to say, those stationed in Xijing, Hetao, Liaodong, and Mongolia were the backbone battalions stationed in Jingxiang, and they were also going to fight in the southwest.

It seems that when they served, they only paid one or two taels of silver a month, which was not much different from those recruits.

But in fact, the previous investment was huge, and when it was calculated, it was not one or two taels of silver a month, but at least two or three times more, and the land was not taxed or servited, and so on, I was afraid of more.

Dashun controls the whole of China, but he can only afford to raise this little elite soldier, and he really can't afford to raise any more.

Merely...... Liu Yu felt that it was still a bit of a waste.

Dashun's military system obviously took the wrong path and was crooked to the sky.

With such a thick foundation, it is completely possible to become a grassroots officer.

Dashun regarded them as elite soldiers and organized them independently......

Putting together a group of individuals who can be non-commissioned officers and lieutenants with a little training and training is a real tyrannical thing.

At this time, the queue in the courtyard not far away dispersed, and several people came over.

looked at the height and fat of the horse led by Liu Yu, so he asked politely, "What are you doing here?" ”
